My Google Pixel was draining battery left and right, and then I changed these settings

There is nothing more frustrating than watching your Google Pixel’s battery percentage tick down while it’s just sitting in your pocket.

I love the camera and the software, but for a while, the sudden battery drain was making me consider switching back to my Samsung Galaxy phone.

After some trial and error (and a lot of digging through system menus), I discovered a handful of default settings that were hammering my battery life. After I flipped these switches, the difference was massive.

If your Pixel is draining faster than it can charge, these are the essential tweaks you need to make right now.
